President Cleveland Saving His Salary asl,ir,sztG,r. I t1a

Washington I etter to the Savannah News. President Cleveland is said to be saving
 three-ffths of his salary. This is a thrifty showing for newly married man to say
 the least of it. Despite all the talk one
 hears about the insufieiency of the presi-
 dential salary, there is no doubt that it is not only ample for all the requirements of
 the office, but sufficiently large to allow of
 the saving of snug little fortune every year besides. He has no bills to pay for
 rent, heating or lighting, and the staff of
 messengers and doorkeepers provided at government expense is sufficiently large to
 obviate the necessity of hiring many ser
 wants out of the presidential purse. The
 five State dinners required to be given each
 year are, comparatively speaking, inexpen-
 sive affairs. Probably none of them ever cost over three or four hundred dollars at
 the outside. The flowers, which are ordina-
 rily 8 matter of considerable expense, are furnished by the White House conservatory
 and the hot-houses of the Congressional gar
 dens, and the music is furnished by the Ma
 Iine band. At the receptions nothing is served-not even ice-water. There is abso- lutely no expense whatever attached to them Every President managed to save some little
 money out of his salary. MT. Cleveland will retire at the end of his term with not less certainly than one hundred and twenty thou sand dollars. That is doing better probably than any of his predecessors did. It assu-
 redly is more than he would have made at
 his practice in Buffalo in four years On the whols, therefore, it can be said without much fear of contradiction that the presidential of flee is not half so bad an investment fnan- eially as most people have been led to believe by the statements appearing from tins to time in the newspapers.

Ruled by Prejudice.

Few persons realize how thoroughly they are controlled by prejudice even to their own disadvantage. For many years the treatment of rheumatism. neuralgia, sciatica and head ache has been by some outward application, and therefore, without stopping to think that the origin of these troubles must, from necessity, be internal, the weary sufferer continues to rub, rub and find no relief. Athlophoros is taken internally, and as a proof that this is the correct principle, it cures surely and quickly. The statement of those who have been cured ought to convince the incredulous.
 NEW HAVEN, Conn. have for twelve years been great suffer CT from rheumatic neuralgia, subject to at-
 tack suddenly without warning, either day
 or night, destroying all hope of sleep or rest,
 making it almost impossible for me to walk
 or attend to my business and often compel ing me to remain at home a day or two and suffering the most excruciating pain every sufferer knows. Remedies are not wanting, and have tried hundreds of them faithfully, until when 1 come to review the list, and find am still alive I look upon myself as a
 miracle. With the exception of Athlophor-
 os, not one of them afforded me slightest
 benefit. Eminent physicians in this and oth
 CT cities have labored faithfully and honestly
 to help but without affording any perma-
 neut relief After much persuasion and
 long opposition, I at last decided to try Ath-
 lophoros, but without one particle of faith.
 As the result can truly say it has done me
 more good than all other remedies combined
 The first two doses relieved the pain entire
 ly, and since l commenced it's use some fou
 weeks ago have had but one slight attack G. G. THOMSON. Every druggist should keep Athlophoros
 and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can
 not be bought of the druggist the Athlophor-

 For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia, indiges tion weakness nervous debility, diseases or Wo

MIR. BACON DIscuAaGEn

Tfis Commissioner Finds The Evi-

 tiOn of MT. Bacon's FrietIas At The
 Charges That Were Made.
 George H. Bacon, formerly of this city, held for several days pending hearing be- fore United States Commissionet Marvin ot Hartford charging Bacon with forgery com mitted in Canada, was yesterday morning discharged, tEe commissioner deciding with. out delay there was no evidence sufficient to hold him. Lewis Sperry appeared as coun- sel for Bacon. Had there been evidence in the opinion of the commissioner that would have warranted him in holding kim, this with all the exceptions and arguments of counsel would have been sent to Washing ton for final decision, but now it will be unnecessary.
 MT. Bacon's many friends rejoice much at the result, which they say is very righteous decision. They express indignation that MT. Bacon should have been harrassed in such 8 manner and claim strongly that if all the facts were known it would show that MT. Ba- con hes been free from blame any wrong doing whatever in the matter. They say that he put in $21 ,236 into the business in Cana da, milling and mining business, and that his three partners altogether only put in the $27, ,917, whereas S60, 900 was sued for. The speculation turned out failure, hence those tears

Has Lively Discussion on she Tenn
 perance Question.
 MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, April 13.-The New York East Methodist conference was in the midst of heated debate upon the temper ance resolution to day and at recess Dr. Buck ley, of Brooklyn, had the floor. Dr. Curry said he was prohibitionist, but he would jein hands with the high license men and then continue fighting for prohibition. Com promises were approved by God. He was in full sympathy with the prohibition party, but he would join with the great party which helped in advancing the cause of temperance. Dr. Buckley said he he'll the right of a min- ister to vote as he pleased and to talk as he pleased as an individual, but he did not deem it the right of minister to promote party in the pulpit or in conference. Ministers had the right to state broad principles, but if he talked party any member had right to dispute him. The question was not what position the party should take at the polls, but what position the conference should take. The resolutions would bind no one and if largely voted against would weaken the cause. Every man in the conference fa- vored prohibition. The speaker asked any man opposed to rise. But no one rose. Then adjournment came. At the evening session the application of William E. Smith, of the Throop avenve church of Brooklyn, was sent back, he having failed to secure a proper percentage, although he has been a goad minister. The Rev. D. Scudder, of Brooklyn, was superannurted

 Other Ease Ball Notes.
 Yesterday there was marked perceptibil- ity of change in the base ball grounds in Hamilton Park. Work was commenced on Monday, and although the force of men worked hard, and in fact did a good deal, yet their labor did not appear to much ad- vantage. Yesterday part of the grand stand was put up. It will undoubtedly be impossible to get the whole of the grand stand finished by the time of the opening game.
 As Lille cannot sign with the New Ravens, it may be possible that Richard Burns of last years Detroits will be signed. Lillie expect ed to leave for Kansas City last night.
